Fish Report for 2-18-2022

The entire river is in pretty good shape

The Fly Shop

The entire river is in pretty good shape. Some large fish are in on the lower sections, with clear water you can spot them pretty easily. Watch out though, you will spook them if you drop right in on them. Mid day we are seeing some Blue Wing Olive hatches. Good flies are the #18 Zebra Midge, Sweet Pea in #16, and the #18 Olive Hotspot. Also Rubberlegs. Some of these fish are pretty aggressive, so swung and stripped Sculpin patterns are definitely a good idea now.
